The remaining notes are for changes from the 4.7.x branch to 4.8.0 and also applied to 4.8.0-alpha1.

Major changes include security enhancements such as removing the PHP eval() function and authentication logging, a mobile interface to improve the interface when used with tablets or mobile phones, and two-factor authentication options.

Additionally, there have been continuous improvements to many of the translations. If you don't see your language or find a problem, you can contribute too; see https://www.phpmyadmin.net/translate/ for details.
